Fairy Cakes

Wouldn't you know it......another year of clean living and the Irish Fairies stopped by to leave a St Patrick's Day surprise again this year! Wish The Leprechauns would take notice and follow the Frairy's lead ! Used Rachel Allen's lemon curd recipe and froze it for a year .......Fairies love lemon curd with some age on it. The cake is a lemon sponge with cake flour. I saw the Fairies tossing their dust on them before disappearing till next year.

Happy St. Paddy's Day

For our Irish native from Belfast - Sylvia. I can't remember where I got the cup cake recipe.

Lemon Curd

2 eggs and 1 yolk

1 stick of butter

¾ C sugar

zest and juice of 3 lemons.

Mix and slowly heat on top of the stove in 2 qt sauce pan until mix thickens into thick curd. Put in refrigerator for 4 hours to thicken further.

Fill muffin cups 2/3rds full. Bake at 375 F for 10 minutes, rotate the cupcake pans and turn down the oven to 325 F convection this time and bake about 5 minutes more until the tops are nicely browned.

Remove cakes from tins and cool completely on a wire rack.

Use a sharp paring knife to cut into the top center of each cupcake, removing the cone shaped piece and reserve.
